Example repository for customizing a Stackspin cluster

Example boilerplate for a custom flux repository which can be added to a Stackspin cluster. The main use-case is to add additional applications which are not integrated into Stackspin (yet).

For a more advanced example see the flux2-kustomize-helm-example repository. This repo's directory structure is similar to the flux2-kustomize-helm-example one.

Basic configuration

We'll start with a very basic configuration:

• It uses a public git repo
• No secrets are included
• No forking/modifications needed, install as it is

Apply it to your cluster:

basic/install.sh

List the resource created by this flux repo:

kubectl -n example-basic get gitrepositories
kubectl -n example-basic get kustomizations
kubectl -n example-basic get helmreleases
kubectl -n example-basic get pods

Show output of the single app applied, podinfo

curl --resolve podinfo.local:80:CLUSTER_IPV4_ADDRESS http://podinfo.local

What's next ?

There are two ways of using a custom flux

• Fork this repo to a private git remote (Github, Gitab, etc.)
• Configure flux to use ssh instead of https for cloning
• Add private ssh key for git pulling to flux
• Add public ssh key for git pulling to your git remote
• Encrypt your secrets using sops
